In my usual meandering, I came across this lovely set of travel cases and the one that I found most appealing is the case pictured below, which set my thoughts running across the globe 🙂
I would certainly love to visit more places in the World, one place at a time and I hope that gets to happen.
One of the truthful challenges of being a parent/mother is having to set aside some of your aspirations and keep them on hold for a while, either due to financial constraints or the exigencies of time.
Traveling abroad with family costs twice as much and takes extra planning to ensure that it’s fun for everyone, however, in the interim to long distance travel, consider shorter road trips to locations around you that you’ve not visited before. It’s equally as much fun, educative and gives me the same sense of satisfaction. Sometime in the past, I shared a post on road travel, ‘it’s almost time for a road jaunt.’ 😉
Now, let me get back to dreaming and pinpointing those places that I plan to visit and you hold on to those warm thoughts of a road jaunt.
On Thursday’s, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be a house, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes since we cannot all be at those places, we could, at least, see them through you.
The Dates are ripening in sweet heaps and are being harvested with the bags tied under them.

Cute 🙂
Want some traditional coffee?
The pool looks inviting in this blistering sun.
I have no idea what it is.
Looks like a nice place to sit.

Dates, dates everywhere! It’s the date season and the palms are burgeoning with fruits. A lot are bearing little bags that are tied under to harvest them for eating and producing various types of sweet stuff.
I’ll probably try my hand doing some date juice and see how it turns out.
The random photos were taken during the course of the week of perambulating to and fro office and about town.
From armchairs, we got to meander about and see what other folks are up to in their neighbourhoods. Let’s see some of yours 🙂
Following Seas, Luanne’s photos are so serene and lovely. Take a look. Thank you Luanne for sharing with us 🙂
Saba online: Some of these photos have mysterious quality like the cover page of a thriller. Saba thank you for joining echoes 🙂
Like Mercury Colliding: Kat always has fascinating stuff to show us. Now, these are truly interesting neighbourly trees with lots of character. Take a peek. You might find a storyline in there.
